S****y Little Town

You really left this shitty little town
Just to come back and say how you got away
Out to impress that one you left
In hopes they envy you one day
Somersaults from fallen hearts
Hurt when you don't stick the landing
Bloodied your nose
But you wouldn't let it show
Your ego can be so demanding
No love lost but a leaching feeling
That though you've left you're in the next building
They assured me you'd gone away
But I see your reflection in my windowpane
It's hard to see what you'd have to gain
Somehow somethings you feel you must maintain
Self preservation can be a such a bitch
And mines never your concern now is it?
Taped on streamers
Tastes of bathroom cleaners
Are things you've come to expect
A congratulations and standing ovation
In-front of your admirers and rejects
But you didn't predict such an absence
No shoes dancing on your floor
You had forgot how easy you are for all of us to ignore
You kissed me twice just to see
If I'd changed my mind but please let me be
Loose lips laced with aspartame
If they touch me too long I'm afraid they'll stain
